Effects of Physical Training on Mild and Borderline Hypertension
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.6 Vol.6】
Six women and thirteen men with borderline or mild essential hypertension underwent physical training biweekly for three months. Dietary habit was not changed throughout the course of the study. After training, systolic blood pressure at rest decreased by 11 mmHg (p<0.01) and diastolic blood pressure by 8 mmHg (p<0.01). Duration of exercise on treadmill improved by 1.7 minutes (p<0.001). Systolic and diastolic blood pressures at submaximal exercise levels also decreased significantly. Heart rate did not change at rest, but it showed a lower response to submaximal exercise. In conclusion, physical training was effective in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressures at rest and during submaximal exercise.
